Youtube is all the rage these days - that is, there are a lot of angry people on Youtube spreading rage, and indeed outrage.
However I'm posting this as an experiment: I'm tempted to dip my toe into the Youtube water. I've participated in Hangouts (conference calls on Youtube using Google + accounts) before and now I'm interested in finding out if there's enough interest in hosting such things, with a view to discussing the sorts of issues I talk about here.
Of course that means addressing such issues as anonymity and privacy since no one should be forced to show themselves on camera or risk being doxxed. People that do that are just bullies and I want nothing to do with them.
There's a lot of angry right wing trolls on Youtube, they spread a lot of bullshit from the comfort of their Patreon-fuelled armchairs. It would be interesting to hear, in a respectful space, a discussion of how things can be different and better in our broken country.
One day I'll get around to talking about some of these people; one of the more (in)famous of these trolls lives not a million miles from here (depressingly). For now, here's a fantastic take down of one of them, an acolyte of the Alex Jones school of paranoia called Paul Joseph Watson. A grubby little shoutist who sits at home sneering at everyone left of him (which would seem to be everyone that isn't him).
